It appears that's what NASA has been doing recently, and they have their collective eyes on some seriously expensive real estate. Trappist-1 is all over the news. Primarily, because the system has three, count em, THREE planets in the sweet spot. The star is hydrogen burning and in its infancy. Meaning, that if there isn't... Continue Reading →

Writing for the last two weeks has been like pulling teeth. Today, I think I figured out why. Because I write scifi, writing requires a certain hopefulness on my part, a belief in a far future that could have colonization of planets and technology beyond our wildest dreams.

Thanks for having me... Continue Reading →

I google stuff, so you don't have to. On a whim, I started googling time travel this morning just to see what the world was up to in the field. The idea came to me that I could break down some of those results on this blog about science fiction. Time is real. That's not... Continue Reading →
